Armstrong "In The Loop Podcast"

Pizza with a Purpose 2025

Armstrong Season 7 Episode 1

After a long hiatus, we are back with a new season of Armstrong In The Loop Podcast! For our first episode of the season, we're here to talk with Mindy Schnitgen (Inspired Hearts and Hands). Mindy is the Executive Director and has been running this wonderful organization for the last 13 years.

We start the episode talking about IH2 and everything she does for those in need. Mindy talks to us about the growing need for resources across the 4 counties that she supports: Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver and Butler. 

We discuss fundraising and volunteer opportunities that are critical to the success of IH2.  Mindy's website has opportunities to donate, purchase tickets to upcoming events and sign up to volunteer: https://inspiredheartsandhands.com/


The major reason for this week's episode is to talk about the return of Pizza with a Purpose! This year's event will take place on Wednesday, February 26th, from 6-8pm at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry Township. This is open to the public! Empty pizza boxes are $25.00 and each box comes with 10 slices of pizza. The fun part is YOU get to decide what 10 slices go in that box as we have a large group of locally owned pizza restaurants serving up their best slices. This year's list of participants:

The Training Table

Large Plain Pizza and Pints

Peppino’s Pizza

Tani’s Pizza

Milano’s Pizza Callery

Mars Pizza

Adrian’s Pizza, Thompson Run Road

Off the Vine Pizza Pie

Carlucci’s Pizza

Bruno’s Pizza

All proceeds from this event go directly to Inspired Hearts and Hands as they prepare to serve Easter Boxes to families in need.


We also have exciting news as Former Pittsburgh Penguin, Colby Armstrong, and current Pittsburgh Penguins TV Personality, Dan Potash, will be joining us as special guests for the evening! Stop by to say hello, get a photo or even an autograph!


Pizza boxes will sell out and we recommend you pre-purchase a box: https://www.ticketsignup.io/TicketEvent/PizzawithaPurpose
